Swedish Starlet N becomes four-time winner at Saratoga

Swedish Starlet N (Mach Three) continued her terrific start to the 2024 harness racing campaign at Saratoga Casino Hotel when on Tuesday (Mar. 12) the Jimmy Nickerson trainee won for the fourth time.

Competing in the matinee’s $11,500 feature for fillies and mares, Swedish Starlet N was heavily backed in the wagering as her race’s 2-5 favorite on Tuesday when driver Matt Athearn wasted little time putting the seven-year-old on the front-end.

The New Zealand-bred distaffer never faced an anxious moment en route to a wire-to-wire score, her fourth victory in five local starts in ‘24. Longshot Fond Memories A (Larry Stalbaum) dropped out of the Open to finish second to Swedish Starlet N at odds of 13-1 to complete a $14.80 exacta while Goldies Adelight A (Ron Cushing) rounded out a $75.50 triple.
